The Inquiry Math Classroom: Growing Confidence and Building Equity in K-8 Settings

Autor William Polan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2026
The Inquiry Math Classroom guides teachers to infuse inquiry-driven student learning into their math classrooms. Veteran teacher and international school leader William Polan brings an approachable lens to the role of inquiry in math and breaks down barriers to entry. Chapters introduce and connect inquiry-driven learning to math while exhibiting how it can boost student confidence and promote equity. Each section provides key principles for inquiry-driven math education—collaboration, curiosity, creativity, metacognition, concepts, and communication—and explains them philosophically, practically, and through action research from the author’s and colleagues’ real classrooms. Ideal for K-8 educators, this resource shows how teachers can nurture student curiosity and cultivate the conditions for student agency, engagement, and self-directedness in mathematics.

Recenzii

“Intentionality is both a mindset and a core move within an inquiry approach to teaching and learning, yet sustaining it can be difficult within the cadence of ‘getting through’ curriculum. In The Inquiry Math Classroom, William Polan offers educators a thoughtful pathway for planning and navigating mathematics learning with care and purpose. Throughout the book, readers are invited to slow down, notice more, and design experiences that honor the process of meaning-making. The result is a classroom where students develop ownership of their learning, a deeper understanding of themselves as thinkers, and mathematical skills that extend well beyond the lesson itself. This is the kind of book that reminds us that mathematics is not something students simply get through, it is something they learn to think within.”
Jessica Vance, author of Leading with Inquiry and Evidence of Inquiry
 
“Honest, practical, and grounded in real classroom experience, The Inquiry Math Classroom meets educators wherever they are on their journey. It challenges familiar structures without dismissing them and offers a thoughtful path toward classrooms where every student can think, take risks, and grow.”
James Myklebust-Hampshire, Founder of Sembl
 
The Inquiry Math Classroom shows how curiosity and collaboration can transform math instruction from ‘doing problems’ to meaningful learning. By positioning students as contributors, it helps teachers create classrooms where learners build confidence, make sense of grade-level content, and genuinely see themselves as capable mathematical thinkers. Relatable and practical read written by a teacher just like you!”
Pam Brett, Math Education Specialist at Blue Glasses Math and Executive Coordinator of Teacher Outreach for the Association of Mathematics Teachers of New Jersey
